my next question is do horses usually accept ear plugs pretty good? My horse is not touchy at all around or in the ears. Thinking that maybe I need to try at home first or a few times for them to get used to them?

My mare broke her trophy halter when I went to try them on her.  She just about flipped over.  I had the vet check her ears since it was such a violent reaction but they were clear and fine.  She's not even sort of ear shy either, loves ear rubs and scratchies, just will not tolerate anything getting stuffed in them.

I would definately use them for a few days before you use them competing. Every horse I've used them on is different. DO NOT leave your horse tied when you put them in just in case they do get upset or surprised. The typical reaction I get is just head shaking and as soon as I get them focused on loping circles or doing something that ends quickly.

I always used tampons, the short ones.  Never had a horse flip out.
